I know you can infer the CAS CL timing values for your installed RAM using the code on the label, but I wanted to measure it directly. AFAIK, there is no Mac program that does this, but it can be done for a PC running Windows using CPU-Z.

I tried installing CPU-Z in Parallels, but I get screwy results when trying to look at RAM data when using the VM. For instance, it's showing me the RAM allocated to Parallels (16 GB) rather than the actual installed RAM, and it's interpreting the RAM as DDR2 instead of DDR4. So clearly this isn't working.

I could instead try it via Bootcamp, but before I went to trouble I thought I'd ask if anyone already has it running. If so, might you be willing to check and see if it gives correct RAM info., including CL?

Or if you don't have it, but want to try, it's available here:

WARNING: If you see a button that say "Download", don't click on it, since that's a sneaky advertisement for something else:

Instead, click on "for Windows" under CPU-Z:

And then here under "Classic Version". I chose the 64-bit version.
